GALLERIES

'Love' is all around Judith Klein Art Gallery

The Judith Klein Art Gallery invites the public to an opening reception for its new, heartwarming exhibit titled "Love," on Saturday night. This invitational group exhibit features artists working in a variety of media, including fabrics by Marjorie Puryear, paintings by Lori Bradley and Lyn Tobin, photographs from Karen Raus, and mixed media from Larren Fredman and Judith Klein. The gallery will also have new ceramics by Chad Franfelter, jewelry by Jenny Woolf, Andrea Harisson and Diana Taft among a slew of additional artists. Those who can make it to Saturday's opening reception will have the opportunity to sample hand-crafted chocolates by Robert Hunt.

Tonight, Bristol Community College's Grimshaw-Gudewicz Art Gallery will hold an opening reception for its new exhibit, "Simultaneity." Simultaneity is a term defining the phenomenon of relative perspectives or points of view in relation to a singular event or occurrence. In the drawing studio, for example, students drawing from a still life in the middle of the room are often surprised to discover how different the compositions of the work of their classmates are on the other side of the room. The artists in this exhibition explore some of these ideas throughout their works. Collectively, they have written about the notions of simultaneity as visually rich experiences coupled with conflicting and multiple perspectives. As such, the resulting images are not descriptions of the world from a single point of view — but singular compositions that contain a multitude of visual references that refer to many ideas about representation. The artists exhibited in this show include Meghan Brady, Nick Lamia, Steve McCall, Gabriel Phipps and Dannielle Tegeder. The show will run through Feb. 22.
